An introduction to the basic concepts of stream erosion, with illustrated examples from a creek called Denton Creek. Contains review questions at the bottom of the page.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Covers different kinds of erosion by surface water.

Observe how wind and water reshape the face of Earth's surface with these slideshows. Students will use evidence from videos and images to observe and describe how wind and water contribute to natural events that are constantly reshaping...

Educate students about soil erosion with this thorough instructional activity which focuses on the geography of Guinea.

Students collect evidence to investigate erosion and deposition around the schoolyard.

This hands-on activity explores five different forms of erosion (chemical, water, wind, glacier and temperature). Students rotate through stations and model each type of erosion on rocks, soils and minerals. The students record their...

This lesson introduces and describes the main types of erosion (i.e., chemical, water, wind, glacier and temperature). Young scholars learn examples of each type of erosion and discuss how erosion changes the surface of the Earth....

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses how flowing water causes erosion; describes how runoff, streams, and rivers change Earth's surface; and identifies features caused by groundwater erosion.

In this field investigation, students will investigate processes of deposition that have contributed to the current Minnesota sediments and landscape. After learning about weathering and erosion and having a short introduction to...

Explains what standing rocks are, how they are formed by erosion, and gives the names of some well-known ones in Indiana.

In this environmental science fair project, students will build models of fields prepared by plow-based and no-till methods, and see which ones are best at retaining soil moisture and preventing surface runoff.

Examples, with images, of different types of landforms created by water and wind erosion.

Young students are introduced to the complex systems of the Earth through numerous lessons on its natural resources, processes, weather, climate and landforms. Key earth science topics include rocks, soils and minerals, water and natural...

What is a sinkhole? Where are they found? What causes them? This text based article will provide the answer to these questions, and more!

Explains what is meant by the deposition of sediments by wind and water and provides examples of the resulting landforms.

The Evergreen Project profiles the natural history of rivers and streams. Topics include watersheds, how a stream becomes a river, erosion, water pollution, and the like.

For this Interdisciplinary Field Investigation students will combine science, math, geography, creative writing and art. The setting will be a local stream (site yet to be determined, Minnehaha or Vermillion) where 150 students will...

Students build a model to learn about the cycle of erosion and deposition by water and wind which deposits layer upon layer of rock, soil, and organic material to the surface.

Students simulate a sinkhole, and discover the geological catalysts that happen beofore sinkholes occur.
